Helping Theatre Professionals in Need

Theatre professionals—artists and company members—experience unforeseen personal emergencies like everyone else. But unlike many others, professionals in the arts rarely earn wages that are commensurate with their contributions to the vitality and richness of our community. Often they don't have regular access to health insurance.

To help our colleagues in need, we created Taking Care of Our Own, an initiative that assists area theatre professionals in times of unforeseen financial hardship.

theatreWashington welcomes questions on Taking Care of Our Own and its application process. To contact our theatreWashington representative, email TCOOO@theatrewashington.org or call Michael Kyrioglou, Theatre Services Manager, at (202) 337-4572. All applications, situational details, and inquires will be kept in confidence at this stage of the application process to ensure applicant anonymity.
